Dog
bones provide many benefits. Here is some information to help you choose the right bone for your
dog. Giving your dog a bone to chew is much more than just giving them something to chew on. Your
dog trusts that you are providing them with a gourmet treat that is both enjoyable and safe for
him or her. A good article to read concerning natural treats for dogs is
Keeping
Your Dog Healthy With Natural Treats: Chewing For Your Pet's Better Health
written by authors Steve Brown and Beth Taylor, both of which are pet health and
nutrition experts, provide an all-inclusive argument for feeding your dog a
naturally balanced raw meat, bone and vegetable-based diet that provides much
higher quality nutrition than any dry or canned dog or cat food.

Bones
of many varieties will help dogs of all ages. Satisfying a puppy or a dog's desire to chew is
beneficial in many ways. Chewing on hard bones is a natural way for dogs to clean teeth and
exercise muscles. Hard chew treats improve the dog's dental health by giving the dog a chance to
exercise the gums and scrape teeth and promotes healthy teeth for your dog. Too many dogs need to
go to the veterinarian and be treated for dental problems, and most are dogs that have not had
enough hard objects to chew on.

Chewing
on dog bones helps scrape away plaque which causes bad breath and other serious dental problems .
Chewing a bone ideally scrapes against the teeth helping to remove plaque and tartar buildup. This
often provides less discoloration of the teeth and helps keep gums healthy. Keeping your dogs teeth
clean is healthy for them and could save you costly vet bills.

Natural
bones can be fed anytime as a gourmet snack or reward, as a substitute for chewing furniture
(especially useful for teething puppies!) or to occupy a dog during travel time or to help
alleviate separation anxiety.

Natural
bones are fully digestible, and a good source of protein and calcium. They provide an enjoyable
chewing experience and satisfy a dogs natural carnivorous instincts.

Your
dog has a natural urge to chew, especially young dogs. A bone would possibly keep him from chewing
on your shoes or furniture. It will also provide them with some form of entertainment and mental
stimulation. A bored dog is an unhappy dog!

Choose
a bone that matches your dog's chewing abilities. Size, shape, hardness and flavor are all
important to your dog.

Size
by far is the most important. Pets are very particular about the size of the bone you give them.
Lucky Dog Chew Bones Treats come in a wide variety of sizes ranging from the heavyweight " THE
BEHEMOTH " a 12" to 18" long Beef Femur Bone to the lightweight " BUSTER'S BEST " a 1" thick,
marrow filled, slice of a Beef Shank Bone which come six slices to a package. If it's too big they
won't touch it, even though they'll spend hours chewing smaller bones. Generally speaking, smaller
dogs prefer smaller bones, but the reverse is not always true. Bigger dogs will sometimes ignore
big bones and opt for smaller ones but use caution when giving large dogs small bones. They may
cause choking if accidentally swallowed whole.

The
consistency of your dogs bone is also another item to consider. An aggressive chewer can gnaw down
a good size bone in an amazingly short time. For them, a harder bone will last longer.

Dogs
have varied tastes, just like people. Flavor is very important to some dogs. Certain dogs like Beef,
others like Pork or Lamb bones, while others prefer Hickory Smoked to other natural smoked flavors.
Try various types to see which one best suits your dog, and if your dog is like many they will
enjoys a change in flavor from time to time. Every Lucky Dog Bone is USDA Grade Inspected Beef,
Pork or Lamb bone. They are processed and smoked in actual smoke houses using the same Hickory
Wood and Smoking Process that your Smoked Briskets, Smoked Hams and Smoked Turkeys go through,
that you purchase at your local supermarket. Lucky Dog Bones are not oven baked using artificial
liquid smoke to add the Hickory Smoked smell and flavor. When you purchase a Lucky Dog Brand
Hickory Smoked Dog Bone you are getting the real McCoy. Every Lucky Dog Bone is individually
labeled, bar coded and shrink wrapped. Shrink wrapping preserves its freshness, flavor and
provides excellent shelf life when purchased in quantity. Lucky Dog Hickory Smoked Dog Bones wants
to be your canine's best friend! Except for the Rawhide Chew Bones, all Lucky Dog Bone products,
including pig ears, are all NATURAL and FULLY SMOKE CURED so they are SAFE FOR YOUR DOG!

Finding
the right bone for your dog to chew is an art. Choose a bone that will satisfy his need to chew,
provide great entertainment, and satisfy his tastes buds. Sometimes it's good to keep several
flavors on hand, then when your dog gets bored with one you can switch to another.
